Jim, If you don't hear from any "locals" first, contact Paul Witte down in Utah County (lives in Provo/Orem area); he's had an ETX for a while now and is quite familiar with the operation I believe. His e-mail address is: questort@attbi.com (I can't remember if he's on this list or not) Rich --- Jim Stitley <sitf2000@yahoo.com> wrote:
I too, spent most of my life in the cranked neck mode as well and learn a lot, starting with a 60 mm. refractor in the late 1950's - which I still have, wooden case and all! Sentimental, I guess :).
But, a month ago I bought a Meade ETX125 GOTO scope. I could use some pointers or RT help in the initial calibration of the scope to the electronice, and the first time star alignment. I am in the West Jordan area - is there anyone who might be able to assist? I want to do the initialization right the first time (ground based I believe) for maximum accuracy in pointing later on. Anyone locally know the Meade ETX electronics who might be able to assist me??? Thanks much!
